Ruby, don't take your love to town

[Matn]

I have this (crazy) idea in my head to make a brickfilm based on the song "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" covered by The Killers and originally performed by Kenny Rogers, written by Mel Tilis. This would also be my first, real brickfilm. It's about three minutes long, so it will take a lot of work making, but I'll do my best. If this brickfilm is been made, I'll make a topic about it. First, here are the lyrics:

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere

The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

It wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian war

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

Yes it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

Oh Ruby, I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed

And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize

But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before

And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

Oh Ruby, for God sakes turn around

Now, offcourse the film will have some characters. These are Ruby and her "lovers" and the man who tells the story in the song:

The wheelchair isn't all purist. I'm done with the whole purism-idea, you can do a lot with LEGO, but sometimes you have to cross the "rules". The only thing I did was add a bit of glue and I got myself a nice wheelchair for the man.

I hope you like it, comments would be appreciated.

It looks great thus far - I'll look up the song lyrics (I only know one line...) so that I'll know what it's all about.

edit: looked it up. Now I know what that gun is for!

Why are all those lovers in black and white?

Why glue, by the way? You can use traditional tap pieces to put those wheels on.

Thanks. They are in black and white because Ruby and her husband are more important in this picture. I'll add the lyrics.

Yeah, how? I just couldn't come up with a good way for those wheels, so it would look the same like it now is. I almost freaked out on a good way putting those wheels on. And the glue isn't that bad, you can just get the piece off and clean it, like it's never happened.
